The DC Tapes

Sohrab Habibion (of Obits, among other
things) was growing up in the Washington, DC area in the 80s, had a
video camera, liked going to the punk shows, and videotaped many of
them, just because. The videos have been unearthed recently, and he's
been putting the contents online, and other people are using the footage
as well. Learn all about it!

This episode is brought to you by host/producer Arwen Nicks, from the
Sub Pop Podcast Imagination Closet (Seattle) and New York (City!).
Chris Jacobs is an honored guest and introducer of the subject.

Obits, a band

Sohrab Habibion’s connection to Sub Pop, besides being an upstanding
citizen, and Sub Pop championing all upstanding citizens, is that he
played guitar and sang in the rock band called
Obits, who were based in the New
York-ish area of the United States. Obits put out three records on Sub
Pop, and you will now look at their covers.

Podcast recommendation!

We want to point out to you the podcast Vanishing
Ink. Or is it an audio fanzine? You be
the judge! It’s (roughly) about music. It’s punk rock, in the widest
sense of the term. Vanishing Ink is from Allyson McCabe (NPR, Rumpus,
SF Chronicle), and we wholeheartedly recommend it!
